About the Item

Circa 1880’s, this round medallion has Rose Cut diamonds set in a pattern representative of the North Star, with a sheath of wheat tied together by a crescent moon. The 18k gold is pierced and carved out for each diamond setting, allowing light to shine through. When flipped, the pattern created on the backside is reminiscent of a constellation. The 18k gold has an acid wash finish that gives the medallion a gorgeous matte patina. Wheat is a popular motif in Victorian jewelry, and is symbolic of prosperity, fertility, and productiveness. The carving in this medallion has a beautiful composition that gracefully extends into a half-loop on one side. The bright cut work creates an eight-point star around the largest diamond and gives beautiful detailing to the sheath of wheat. The piece weighs 7.45 grams. It has a diameter of 1 1/8” with a large oval bail that is 9 x 5 mm, perfect for accommodating a larger chain. There are some subtle scratches on the surface of the medallion, appropriate for a piece of this age, but because of the matte finish, they cannot be polished out, as they typically could be with shinier gold. There are 12 Rose Cut diamonds ranging in size from 3.3 mm to 1.3 mm. with a total carat weight of approximately .4.

14K Gold Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Drop Necklace with Bow
Located in Venice, CA
At the focal point of this elegant Victorian-era drop necklace are three antique diamonds suspended from a bow and navette shaped bar. The diamonds are Dutch rose cut, with layers of facets cut by hand, making each diamond one-of-a-kind with its own unique way of reflecting light. The largest, bottom diamond appears round, and the diamonds descend in size, with the middle and top diamond taking a more oval shape. The necklace has a 14k gold back and a silver front—a traditional way of mounting jewelry in the Victorian era. The beautiful diamonds rest in a silver backing, so the stones catch the light and reflect it brilliantly. The diamonds are topped by a bow, which contains seven smaller rose-cut diamonds, surrounded by millegrain details that add subtle texture. A transitional bar connects the bow to the teardrop section, and features an eighth diamond set in a navette shaped mount. The bow, navette, and diamond trio are articulated, so there is lots of movement while worn, adding to piece’s elegance. The necklace is circa 1890’s. Kirsten’s Corner has added an antique platinum chain...
